If I want to take a break from my wigs....how do I handle my OWN natural hair. I have forgotten what to do??? You might be laughing...but it is true. Sometimes, when you wear wigs on a "REGULAR" basis you kind of forget what to do. Especially when you are not perming your natural hair often.

Below is a video on how to prepare you hair for a kanekalon ponytail. This was VERY HELPFUL TO ME...I hope it helps you.

Storage - The key to wearing wig/buns is storage. We all forget things, the color (is it a 1b or a 1), what is the hair brand or texture. SO I have learned, store my hair in a clean non used for food freezer bag, or the same wig box it arrived in or even a clean, DRY grocery bag.....and label the item.

This is what the picture below shows...item, color, what I need to do when wearing again...and storing correctly KEEPS THE bun in good shape, you won't get dust or get it out of shape for the next wearing.

For the style above...it might be helpful to know....What is the difference between a hair pin and a bobby pin -

A bobby pin are CLOSED and used to secure wig to your head. These come in several lengths - the longer ones are 3 inches, the shortest ones are 1 1/2 inches

A hair pin is the OPEN item - I do NOT use these to secure to my wig cap. I use these to pin hair down in place. For example if one is trying to blend your hair with the wig and you need to pin your real hair into the wig. These also come in various sizes

This sister here....I'm in love with her teaching methods. I have learned so much from her....and this video is going to show how to extend your wig part and how to touch up your hair if it is thin in the front. I do a similar method but this video is an excellent tutorial with the close up camera shots.

I have found that dry shampoo works wonders on my synthetic wigs! As soon as I take it out of the pack I'll spray some dry shampoo all over it, brush/finger comb it, then shake it out. Not only does it take the shine out and "dulls" the hair but it gives the hair some texture, too. Sometimes some of the straighter/wavier wigs are a little TOO silky and the dry shampoo combats this. It also makes the wig smell good :) I use the suave keratin dry shampoo. It's only like $3
